Press Release
Reduce your annual energy bills by around £275
24 June 2008
The National Insulation Association (NIA) has announced today that despite the bleak forecast that household energy bills could increase by as much as 40% this winter, the consumer can fight back and significantly reduce their energy bills by installing insulation measures.
Neil Marshall, Chief Executive of the not-for-profit NIA, said, “It’s really worrying that many of the elderly and those on low incomes could resort to not heating their homes this winter for fear that they won’t be able to pay their bills. But there is a way they can bring these bills down without compromising their quality of life – and that’s by insulating their homes.”
People do not realise that around half of the heat they are paying for in their homes is being lost needlessly through the walls and roof. By installing cavity wall and loft insulation, heating bills can be reduced by around £275 a year. Insulation is quick, safe and easy to install - and with the wide range of grants available it is now more cost effective than ever.
The National Insulation Association is committed to raising public awareness of the range of financial support available for insulating their homes .
If you’re 70 or over, or on qualifying benefits, you can get your home insulated FREE OF CHARGE.
You don’t have to be in a vulnerable household to benefit from financial assistance – there are grants and subsidies available to all sectors of the population. Even if you don’t own your own home and live in rented accommodation, you can still apply for a grant.
